Father Little's successfol strategy.

London Special to New York World
Additional details of the eviction. attempted
yesterday on the property of Mr.. Henry V. D.
Estere, near Sixmle Bridge, County Clare,
show it to have been one of the most exciting
and remarkable incidents of the kind on record.
A force Of one hundred constabulary was de-
tached to accompany the bailiffs and to help
them to enforce the warrant It was a singu-
larly formidable armed body to pounce down
upon the poor but single tenant John Frost
AS soon as the police made their appearance
the bell in the little Roman Catholic chapel
was set ringing with terrific earnestness, and
men, women and children began to flock in
from every direction, all in state of greatest
excitement. and all swearing vengeance against
the baihffs. At least 500 persons soon stood
ready to resist the attack Of the con-
stabulary. A brass band was brought in
from neighboring village, and horns
were blown from the surrounding hills When
the bailiffs reached Frost's front door they
found the door itself taken down and the pass
age barricadeo With gates, fastened inside with
chains, Father Little, the parish priest being in
the midst of the passage way with some of the
chains reaching from tho gates fastened about
his body SO that the bailifs could not get into
the house without doing him personal violence
A large number OF stones had also been piled up
| in the doorway Father Little stood defiant and
and denounced the baiIiffs, who seemed to be
completely bafffed. The sheriff and his party
spent an hour and a half in removing the stones
! and trying to batter down the barricades. The
| crowd in the yard began to assume threatening
attitude and bloodshed seemed TO be imminent T.
One Of the officers Of the police force was
knocked down and beaten. Father Little kept
up his earnest protests and his denunciatons.
The bailiffs went but half -heartedly at their
work, and the constabes seemed to be parayzed
by the constantly-increasing and infuriated mob.
The eviction finally had to be abandoned, the
proprietor coming forward with proposal to
sell the property to Frost on long purchase.

in the South

Il. G. Dun & Co.'S Record OF Failures
in the South
R. G.. Dun & Co.'S circular, giving the
business failures for the first half of 1887, is
Just out The Georgia failures foot up 11d
with $1,0l7,212 liabilities, as against 124
failures with 81, 160, 1853 liabilities for the
first six months of 1856.
For the first half of 1887 the failures in
the United States are 4,912 in number as
compared with 5, 156 for the same period in
the previous year, indicating decline of
244 While there is a marked decrease in
the number of failures, the liabilities show
a slight increase. For the last half year the
liabilities were $50, l3S, 900, as against $780,
434 900 for the first half year of 1886.
The report says: I'm view of the very ex-
tended business done, and the highly pros
porous condition of things, these figures are
extremely gratifying, for, although there is
an increase in the average liabilities of
failures, the number and the amounts are
small in comparison with the volume of
trade transacted. 1t may be doubted if in
the history of the country the number of
the casualties was ever SO small in compari-
son with the number of persons engaged in
business, and the extent of the transactions
now carried forward. The increase in
liabilities is no doubt the result of specula-
tive failures. If these were omitted the Or
binary legitimate business disasters would
be exceptionally small, compared with the
extended character of general business
done -

FIGHT BETWEEN LOVE AND PRIDE.
Love Seriously Wouuded-Pride Put
Under Restraint,

A serious cutting scrape occurred late
Tuesday night on jefferson and Charlton
streets. Adam Pride and Willie Love, two
youths, were out together, and whether
they had quarrel is matter of uncertainty
on account Of the silence of the two parties.
but they were seen scuillng on
the street corner. Lookcrs-on, however,
thought they We're playing and paid no at
tention to them. After moment they
separated and Love went home and I'M
dressed for bed. He felt pain in the small
of his back, and when he took off his clothes
he looked i'll the glass to see where he was
hurt, for he thought that Pride
had bit him, but he found
u cut three or four inches long
and apparently deep. He aroused his fam
lily and a physician was sent for. His wound
was not thought to be dangerous at the
time, but ii has been bleeding ever since, al
though every effort has been made to stop
the flow of blood. Neither of the boys have
anything to say about the affair, and it is
thought TO be the outcome of young mems
quarrel. The police were notified and Pride
was arrested and taken to the barracks.
Lovei is at his home on Harris street, be-
tween Montgomery and jefferson.
